I'm curious, ATS. I admit I haven't been following the Iran flap; this is one party I've come to somewhat late.
So I was wondering if someone could tell me why the combined psychopaths of America and Israel are itching to invade Iran? I know the usual BS cover story is nukes, or other "weapons of mass destruction," fecal matter, similar to what we were offered as a pretext in Iraq.
If anyone is able to, though, I was wanting to know what John Perkins' answer on this would be, if we currently had him in the audience.edit on 7-2-2012 by petrus4 because: (no reason given)

Iran just finalized agreements with Syria and Iraq for a pipeline to run directly from the Caspian regional network of pipes out to the Syrian coast and European markets. The proposed one has large chunks spoken for by Iraq, Syria and Lebanon but still leaves a healthy % for direct marketing out to Europe.
The war or something like Libya also puts a direct land bridge under Western/US Control from the Caspian Sea to the Gulf. That is Oil, Gas and everything else. The company names in the Caspian Sea for leases read like the usual suspects of the major world Oil/Gas companies.
You know, I've never really understood why an American president doesn't simply phrase his sales pitch for these invasions to the public, something like this.

That is it, and that is all.

I think the whole Iran thing is just an excuse for ATS members to keep making threads about things that have already been covered 100 times over.

Figures.
You know, I've never really understood why an American president doesn't simply phrase his sales pitch for these invasions to the public, something like this. I'd appreciate the honesty. Given the average conservative attitude I tend to see on ATS these days, I'm guessing it'd also be a big hit, domestically.
